    Keeping a Power Bank plugged in

    If I were to keep a power bank plugged in, and use it to charge my phone through it overnight too, would that kill the power bank prematurely?

    Apps that read out texts and emails

    Any apps that can read out texts and apps automatically? I would also like a function that can recognize being connected to the car bluetooth so that it does not read out my messages in the public.

    Wireless Powerbank Worth it?

    I just got it one month ago. And I really like it! I get to use both the vkb and the pkb when I want. There is nothing like it in the sea if iPhone lookalikes.

    How do you feel about the lack of a fingerprint sensor?

    Nah, I am happy with the picture password. I don't have to worry about getting my phone unlocked when someone takes my finger when I am sleeping. And I don't have to hide the unlock screen either. I can unlock the phone right in front of other people and they would have no idea.
